Something an AA sponsor mentioned to me has stuck: "Try it. If it does not work, you can have all your misery back."

Therapists like other professionals need to know about all that is going on with a client. Selective disclosure does not allow the therapist to get to the heart of the matter, prolonging therapy and increasing the likelihood of frustration.

Not working with your therapist to achieve a good result probably means keeping your misery the whole time.
